Description
Introducing the AR Blue Clean BC111HSB Electric Pressure Washer, now redesigned in a sleek black finish while delivering the same powerful performance you expect.
Zoom on the AR Blue Clean BC111HSB
In summary, the AR Blue Clean BC111HSB is a light duty pressure washer, which provides:
- overall cleaning of hard surfaces, washing vehicles, and prepping surfaces for painting
- using cleaning solutions, and rinsing surfaces to remove residue
Its power characteristics and design, its main features and all its additional features are presented ahead.
Power
Powered by a 12.5-amp universal motor, its aluminum axial (wobble plate) pump can generate a forceful pressure of 1700 PSI (roughly 28 times that of a standard garden hose) and a flow rate of up to 1.7 GPM (values claimed by the manufacturer). While these PSI and GPM values represent the maximum capabilities of the washer under specific conditions, it's important to note that under typical usage, the working pressure is 1300 PSI and the flow rate is 1.1 GPM. When these values are taken together, they yield a cleaning power of 1430 Cleaning Units.
The BC111HSB swiftly activates via a simple ON/OFF switch, ensuring user-friendly startup. The unit is ready-to-use with peace of mind, thanks to the included 35 ft GFCI cord.
Design & Handling
With a portable design and approximate dimensions of D11.8 x W10.4 x H17.7 in, the AR Blue Clean BC111HSB stands out for its focus on mobility. The handle adds to the BC111HSB convenience of transport.
With its lightweight construction, tipping the scales at only 14.9 lbs, this unit is a portable powerhouse for all your cleaning needs. Partly owing to its plastic frame, it maintains its lightweight construction.
Main Features
The AR Blue Clean BC111HSB's package includes a spray gun, a wand, a pressure hose, a nozzle tip and a detergent addition feature, with a more detailed description below.
- Soap addition: Detergent is added to the water at the exit, by attaching the included foam cannon to the end of the gun. The foam cannon is equipped with a dial, enabling you to manually adjust the detergent dilution ratio.
- Pressure hose: The included 20 ft high-pressure hose can be neatly stored on the unit when not in use, utilizing a dedicated slot for convenient organization.
- Spray gun and wand: A side hook allows for an easy storage of the included classic ergonomic spray gun and its wand.

The AR Blue Clean BC111HSB's performance versus other pressure washers
The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how the key specs of the AR Blue Clean BC111HSB compare to similarly priced pressure washers.
- Featuring 1700 PSI, the AR Blue Clean BC111HSB achieves a lower pressure value compared to competing electric pressure washers within the $120-150 price category. If your priority is the highest possible power of the water stream, in this price range, we suggest checking out the Westinghouse ePX3100, which reaches up to 2300 PSI.
- In the aforementioned price range, the 1.7 GPM (gallons per minute) of this washer makes it one of the better performing units in terms of the delivered volume of water. If you’re after the highest rinsing efficiency, one of the units with the highest water flow in the current price range is the Westinghouse ePX3100, that can deliver up to 1.76 GPM.
- The BC111HSB's Cleaning Units, 1430 CU, fall into the lower end when compared to electric devices of similar price. If you consider the highest overall cleaning power as a really important factor, the Goodyear GYE20V and its 3200 Cleaning Units has one of the highest cleaning efficiency of all the similarly priced units.
Price comparison
As you can see from these interactive charts, when compared to other electric washers between 700 and 1800 Cleaning Units, the AR Blue Clean BC111HSB is on the average side of the price range.
Therefore, this pressure washer nicely fits in the expected budget for this kind of cleaning power.
The bottom line
- In the expected price range
- Portable
- Onboard storage
- High GPM for the price
- Only 1 nozzle included
